The Athletics completed a sweep of the White Sox (OAK 5, CWS 3) on Sunday, and some weird-but-true history was made.
A's infielder/home run trotter extraordinaire Adam Rosales cranked his fourth long ball of the season, and he flew around the bases. I mean flew. Check it out:
Run, @arosie7, run!

This trot clocked in at 15.88 seconds -- topping his own #Statcast mark for over-the-fence HRs. https://t.co/PD5EaMW0V3 pic.twitter.com/9kEvGuO6da
Rosales always runs around the bases at full speed on a home run, but never before did he make the journey as quickly as he did Sunday. He set a new Statcast record for the fastest home run trot on an outside-the-park home run.
Statcast says that home run sprint was Rosales' fastest yet, 15.88. How is this guy getting faster every year?

Hey, obscure history is still history!
